Description:
The Community Bee Clinic is a radical veterinary practice and participatory installation where visitors can become emergency caregivers for dying honeybees. Through the performance of interspecies nursing care and use of speculative biomedical objects, participants are invited to engage with non-human bodies in new ways and at new scales. This socially-engaged Sci-Art project was developed in collaboration with the Nieh Lab at the University of California, San Diego, where the health, environmental stressors, and communication of social bees are studied.
